‘Intro to the CPO’ for Entrepreneurs

This online course is for entrepreneurs and small business owners who are considering using Oregon’s new Community Public Offering (CPO) to raise capital from their community.

On January 15th, 2015, new Oregon securities crowdfunding law was passed. On January 22nd, Hatch Innovation helped launch the first nine companies to make use of this law, as well as the platform on which people can become local investors: Hatch Oregon. This law allows you to undertake ‘securities crowdfunding’ to raise up to $250,000 from your community.

This seminar/webinar will provide an overview of the law, and the process of preparing and launching a CPO.

You will learn:

If a CPO is right for you and your business

Why the law exists, what it allows for and how it can be used

Costs of raising capital this way

The time commitments required for a successful raise

The technical requirements of the rules (disclosure documents, business plan review, legal compliance)*

What the Hatch Oregon investment platform offers

What the Hatch Oregon Accelerator offers

*Oregon’s Intrastate Offering Exemption Rules will be updated by January 2018. We will include updates in this webinar once the new rules go live.
